How many of you back pedal on a normal basis on the sideline? or do you sidestep more often? any hints on how best to be moving on the sideline. And how much or do you cheat downfield on passing situations?

Thanks
As a side guy, I only back pedal when moving back into position on the sideline when I moved in to mark forward progress, etc. Sometimes I turn around and run properly. I move mostly in a shuffle from side to side; my frame is always facing the field. To be honest, I love the way that NFL side guys work their positions.
